   Under its aspects of small quiet city, it appears that the town of Troyes in France would dissimulate several symbolic links with the world of the Obscure Cities. It is in any case what seems to testify the decouvror to this assumption.

The shape of the city (out of Champagne cork) comes from that time where were created there various secret organizations such Templiers. As it is noted, Troyes shares with the Obscur world the taste of the exchange and of the secret societies.

   From a symbolic point of view, Troyes is the chief town of the Aube (paddle), crucial moment of the day when the night and the day meet together. Without shade, the light does not exist. Sets of shades and lights, one of the artisanal specialities of the area is precisely the stained glass in which the shade of Albert Chamiso could have been reflected one day. At the interior of the historical center are 7 churches whose stained glasses reflect many mysteries. Troyes is or would be the symbol even Passage of the light.

   It is possible that the carpark located under the Markets recently renovated with an architecture which could make think to that of the Obscure Cities can be a Passage place to this world. It is told that many people lost themselves and never returned from there. Disappearances would have taken place at the third basement meadows close to the small garage.
